چکیده

A newly constructed time-of-flight electron spectrometer of the magnetic bottle type is characterized for electron detection in a broad range of kinetic energies. The instrument is designed to measure the energy spectra of electrons generated from liquids excited by strong laser fields and photons in the range of extreme ultra violet and soft X-rays. Argon inner shell electrons were recorded to calibrate the spectrometer and investigate its characteristics, such as energy resolution and collection efficiency. Its energy resolution ΔE/E of 1.6% allows resolving the Ar 2p spin orbit structure at kinetic energies higher than 100 eV. The collection efficiency is determined and compared to that of the spectrometer in its field-free configuration.

Reflection-time-of-flight spectrometer for two-electron (e,2e) coincidence spectroscopy on surfaces.

In this article, a novel time-of-flight spectrometer for two-electron-emission (e,2egamma,2e) correlation spectroscopy from surfaces at low electron energies is presented. The spectrometer consists of electron optics that collect emitted electrons over a solid angle of approximately 1 sr and focus them onto a multichannel plate using a reflection technique. The flight time of an electron with k...

Design, Construction and Calibration of a Laser Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer

A time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) developed in our laboratory at Isfahan University of Technology is described here. The TOF-MS instrument uses laser as the ionization source which provides an opportunity to investigate the ions formed in laser ablation or desorption. The TOF-MS has an ionization chamber containing an accelerator and an ion lens to focus the ions into a one meter line...

Angle-resolving time-of-flight electron spectrometer for near-threshold precision measurements of differential cross sections of electron-impact excitation of atoms and molecules.

This article presents a new type of low-energy crossed-beam electron spectrometer for measuring angular differential cross sections of electron-impact excitation of atomic and molecular targets. Designed for investigations at energies close to excitation thresholds, the spectrometer combines a pulsed electron beam with the time-of-flight technique to distinguish between scattering channels. A l...

Detection of neutral metastable fragments from collisions with nucleobases

This paper reports on two collision experiments involving nucleobases. Electronimpact fragmentation of nucleobases is being studied in an experiment at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. Ion impact studies have been performed at ARIBE at CIMAP in Caen, with support of the ITS LEIF network (RII3-026015) funded by the EU. In the experiment at Maynooth, a molecular beam of nucleobases i...

Low-energy electron-induced dissociation in condensed-phase L-cysteine I: Desorption of anions from chemisorbed films

Among amino acids, cysteine has been widely studied, becoming a standard for molecular self-assembly experiments, because its mercapto group (–SH) allows the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metal surfaces. Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) on L-cysteine SAMs is investigated utilizing a time-of-flight mass spectrometer coupled with a low-energy electron gun. The results sho...
